I have a low mileage '09 Ram 2500. Would like to install a back-up camera and want one that would go into the tailgate handle. I see some listed but they require a touch-screen radio which I do not have. I'm not anxious to replace the radio. Can anyone make a recommendation of a source.

Thanks.

You can use a camera similar to the one found here

Just take out your tailgate handle and drill out the hole using a step bit. There's a cut out spot that's very clear looking at the back of the handle.

As for a display, you can find mirrors with a LCD screen and RCA input for under $100 without too much trouble. Just make sure the mounting bracket fits a Dodge/ram. I believe I even have a nib mirror with a LCD screen and ram mount with harness lying around.
